[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 562052, member: 4353"] You won't know. That being said, there is more to breeding bulls than just using a papered bull on some fine looking cows. In the case of the better breeders there goes years of research, thousands of miles driven to look at ancestors, progeny, other relations, thousands of dollars spent on testing bulls and most importantly cutting and sending alot of otherwise very good calves to the feedlot. If you have done all of these plus have a great understanding of genetics, phenotype, market trends, as well as what might be needed in other production areas and own the cows to compliment the sire you plan to use after doing all this, by all means start breeding your own bulls. If not it may be wiser to invest in bulls from someone reputable who is doing all this. Don't mean to sound harsh, it's just the reality of bull breeding. [/QUOTE]
